Aaarghh!!! Where did my /etc/fstab go ?

[Scott Thornley]

Well, my 9.2 + KDE 3.2 system that had been acting a bit funky, just got a lot funkier. It's a laptop, and the last time I tried to reboot it, it kept complaining about a corrupt filesystem. Knoppix said the filesystem was just fine, thanks. I Finally figured out that there was no /etc/fstab.

 

So, two things.

 

1) I know that Mandrake is modifying /etc/fstab at boot time. Perhaps even as the system is running? What evil bit of software killed my /etc/fstab? harddrake? Something else?

 

2) Anyone feel like copying their /etc/fstab here? I managed to put one together that was good enough to get me up and running, but I'd really like to see a version that was generated by Mandrake.

 

Regards,

Scott

if you can boot to cd1>press F1 at the splashcreen>rescue>and Mount your partitioins under /mnt, then your fstab is there.
